He then collaborates with Brigitte Bardot and offered him in quick succession two hits "Harley Davidson" and Bonny And Clyde. (Watch Brigitte Bardot on YouTube on "Harley Davidson" and she and Gainsbourg on Bonny And Clyde, both videos are beautiful). Serge Gainsbourg had an "affair" or a brief romance with Brigitte Bardot. Reading the Biography of "BB", and of Serge Gainsbourg. I read that Serge had a real passion and adoration for Brigitte Bardot, (Jane Birkin, said the same in an interview, was very jealous of BB, but said she was really beautiful and perfect, because the two made a movie together). And Brigitte Bardot idolized him as a Poet, Composer, etc. Serge called Brigitte Bardot, asking if he could write a song for her. Brigitte then invites him to her apartment, where he had a piano. At the meeting were silent, the composer begins to hum the words of "Harley Davidson". She is afraid to sing on stage. He asks if she has champagne. She says she always has one in the fridge. They have several glasses of champagne. Serge sees in front of his eyes a confident Brigitte Bardot, who sings the future hit with sensuality. Serge makes his dream come true! The next day he sent you aDom Pérignon box. A story will have started on a background of golden bubbles. The romance will last for three months. Three months of pure happiness. One night, while resting in her arms, she asks Serge to compose the love song, the most beautiful one he could compose in all its power and poetry. In the middle of the night Serge, starts to compose on the piano, turns the night! "Je t'aime moi nom plus" is born! He shows Brigitte in the morning, who doesn't hesitate for a single second to record. As they say goodbye that day, Brigitte reports in her Biography that she cut her own finger and cut Serge's finger and she sealed their commitment, mixing the blood and writing on paper "Je t'aime moi nom plus". And he was amazed. But what was already! But faced with threats from her husband, playboy Günther Sachs, Brigitte then asks Serge not to sell her. Recorded many years later by Jane Birkin, replacing BB. A situation that really hurt French icon Brigitte Bardot, saying "I thought I was going to die when I heard the Jane Birkin version. But it was in the order of things, I didn't object to it either. This song (version) fell on me like a stone in my heart". If the moments they spent together were idyllic, the situation for the then young Brigitte Bardot was difficult. Divided between her husband (who cheated on her constantly and walked with an entourage of beautiful Models at his side), and Serge Gainsbourg. So the romance with Serge ends. (But she soon separates from her husband Günther Sachs). Serge Gainsbourg was devastated. Bardot said "Serge was tormented with the anguish of losing me. Every meeting was a miracle for him. He meant a lot to me, but the situation was untenable, hellish." In reverence to the actress of indisputable sex appeal, a devastated Serge Gainsbourg writes the "wonderful" album "Initials BB", (Listen to this album! It's the sublimation of Artista Gênio). That was later taken up in commercials by Guerlain (BB's favorite perfume). In the same year he wrote Françoise Hardy (in reply to Bardot) the lyrics of "Comment te dire adie". They remained eternal accomplices. To this day Brigitte Bardot says she hasn't forgotten him, when Serge died in 1991, she says she read a quote from him written in a magazine "When Bardot left me, it was like someone ripped my heart out with their teeth." Serge Gainsbourg, built a Parisian House, rue de Verneuil, which is a masterpiece, all inspired by Surrealism. This House was dedicated to Brigitte Bardot, with whom he thought of living in this magnificent house, where she has lived all her life. Serge found redemption in the arms of Jane Birkin. In 1981 he had a relationship with a model named Bambou. Until his death, he had a 16-year-old lover, Constance Mayer. The House in rue de Verneuil, Paris, in honor of his Ideal wife, Brigitte Bardot, (said by Serge himself in her biography), is permanently on display in Paris, for visitation, of such extraordinary beauty! Serge Gainsbourg inspires Musicians, Composers and Bands around the World, he had the most beautiful women! Brigitte Bardot is Muse! all great Models, hunted and sought by agents, before they become famous, must have the Brigitte Bardot pattern. Citing two examples; Gisele Bündchen and Laettita Casta (who plays Brigitte Bardot in the Serge Gainsbourg-inspired movie "Gainsbourg - The Man Who Loved Women" 2010, watch! I recommend this movie to learn more about this genius poet), but the vast majority of Models, too, always have and need to have the BB standard. Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot are "Cult" all over the world. Remember the pact made between the two. As passionate, idyllic and ephemeral as it may have been, the love story between Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg will never cease to fascinate us.
